2-(4-Ferrocenylphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane

Abstract

In the title compound,, [Fe(C5H5)(C17H20BO2)], the two near parallel cyclopentadienyl rings of the ferrocene group are eclipsed. The benzene ring is tilted with respect to the attached cyclopentadiene ring by 17.0 (1)° and by 24.2 (1)° with respect to the dioxaborolane ring. The molecules assemble in the crystal via C—H...π interactions between the cyclopentadienyl H atoms and the benzene and cyclopentadienyl rings of neighbouring molecules.
